Mailbag Time

What better way to start the New Year than with the interweb's most hated running gag!

From BE in NY: "Va va va hey mathdude. Va va va va I bet va va va va va you're jealous of me being able to go to va va va va Times Square for New Year's Eve, huh? Va va va.." Kay, uh, what is "NO" Alex? Freezing cold, Hanson, er, Jonas Brothers, Lionel Ritchie, and the DJ formerly known as Dick Clark - I think I'll take a pass. Speaking of Dick Clark, dude, it's time to wrap up the New Year's show! Seriously. He was so patheticly bad, he won't recieve much criticism except here. I get it. Your life doesn't end after a stroke. Fine, go on Oprah and tell your story. Be an inspiration to other stroke victims. Be a spokesperson for stroke victims and raise tons of money, but don't pretend that old running gag that you don't age still applies. Turn it over to the latest haircut. Seacrest is ok for that show. Dude, you're creeping us all out.

From Mikey in Boston: "How'd your 'Super Bowl' go, Mathdude?" Hey thanks for rubbing salt in that wound by reminding me that my "Bridesmaid" football season continues. Sadly, I lost my fantasy league's Super Bowl which continued the trend of finishing second for me. I finished 2nd in last year's bowl pool, and I was the runner-up 4 different weeks in my family's college football pool this year. However, it's 2009, baby! I'm going to win the bowl pool! I'm starting the year only one game back. If the boys from Iowa, Michigan State, Clemson, USC, and Virginia Tech can find a way to win today, I can coast to an easy win and not even have to worry much about Texas Tech, East Carolina, Alabama, UConn, Texas, Tulsa, or Florida winning for me.

From Not Hungover 'Cause I'm Still Drinking in Chicago: "Hey Maffdoooooode! I got that posting ready for ya! Wooooo! Yipee-ki-yay mother fucker! Party on! Excellent! Whooo-hooo! " Um, ok, great. BTW everyone, I just remembered. I have jury duty on Monday, so I'm having another guest poster. Another aside - my ECV posting of my 12 Most Influencial Songs is in reruns over at the West Post Skateboard Gang Blog.

Strange Coincidence
This is like that Lincoln-Johnson thing.

Mike Shanahan: Didn't get the job done. Starts 2009 looking for work. Looks just like George W. Bush.

That's all I got for ya! Happy New Year everyone except Falwless!

Still, Shanahan had an amazing ability to make anyone a 1,000 yard rusher. Oh, and anyone a disappointing prospect at QB.

Wait, wha?! Why happy New Year to everyone except me? :(

Rassles said...

What does va va va mean? Are you saying that I'm va va va-voom? For the last time, stop hitting on me!!

Anyway, I would never go watch the stupid ball drop. I avoid Times Square on regular days, so I certainly wouldn't go on New Year's Eve. I spent NYE in the 'Burg. You know, home of the greatest football team ever.

I am shocked that Shanahan was fired after a pretty good run and a long tenure in Denver. I think the fast start this year raised expectations; had they gone 2-6 and finished 8-8 it would have been a different story.

I am equally shocked that Dick Clark led the Arizona Cardinals to a playoff win. I bet next week they drop the Hightower runs and throw the ball 60 times and lose. You heard it here first.

Didn't Shanahan win two Super Bowls back-to-back? Isn't that "getting it done"?

But, in a division that features KC and Oakland, he couldn't win a two horse race against a horse that smashed his hip into the starting gate at the gun.
